The pattern

Three of the 13 crashes were rear-end collisions, and in all three police cited the trailing driver for following too closely. Three were angle crashes. Five involved a single vehicle. Police listed a driver as distracted by a hand-held electronic device in one crash. Six of the 13 happened in daylight, and one in rain or other bad weather. By road: three on Interstate 91, three on Route 411 and two on the Interstate 91 Exit 24 ramp. Rocky Hill's two traffic deaths this year came in August on Route 99 and September on Route 160, according to the data.

About the data

These figures are preliminary. Police reports for recent months are still being added to the state database, and counts often rise as they come in. Crashes that damaged only property aren't in the October figures yet, so this story covers crashes with injuries only.
